your body speaks | Holistic Healing, Listening to Your Body, Women’s Health Over 40, Christian Health Podcast, Faith-Based Wellness
In a world obsessed with doing more, your body speaks is where you’ll finally learn how to do less and heal more.
This podcast is for women who’ve done “everything right” yet still feel exhausted, anxious, or disconnected from their bodies. Hosted by Dr. Brook Sheehan, chiropractor, functional health practitioner, and creator of the bodyOS framework, her journey began much like the women she now helps. For years, Brook lived disconnected from her body, chasing every new health hack and “fix” in search of balance. What started as a genuine desire to feel better spiraled into an obsession with doing more, tracking, restricting, pushing, performing. It wasn’t until she paused long enough to listen that everything changed. Through that shift, she discovered that healing isn’t about control, it’s about connection. Now, she helps other women move from overwhelm to trust, from striving to peace, and from force to flow.
You’ll learn how to listen to your body’s signals, trust what it’s telling you, and heal naturally through the four pillars of whole-body health: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
Each episode blends science, soul, and practical strategy to help you stop forcing your body to perform and start flowing with how you were designed to thrive.
It’s time to tune out the noise of modern wellness, find peace in your process, and rediscover what wholeness feels like because when you learn to listen to your body, trust it, and heal naturally, healing isn’t forced... it flows.

Ep6: The Supplement Trap: Are You Fueling Health or Sabotaging It?
Summary:
In this episode of your body speaks, Dr. Brook Sheehan unpacks the complex and often misunderstood world of supplementation. Are the pills you’re taking helping or hurting you? Drawing from her professional expertise and personal journey, Dr. Brook explores the hidden dangers of over-supplementation, how supplements can disrupt the body’s natural intelligence and the critical importance of tuning into your own unique needs. She offers practical advice to help listeners move away from one-size-fits-all solutions and toward a personalized, intuitive approach to health.
Key Takeaways:
- The Hidden Costs of Over-Supplementation: Supplements are often marketed as essential for health, but taking the wrong ones—or too many—can throw the body’s delicate balance into chaos.
- Understanding the Body’s Intelligence: Your body knows exactly what it needs and will often correct imbalances on its own. Supplements should support, not override, this process.
- The Role of Mitochondria in Health: As the energy powerhouses of your cells, mitochondria are essential for your body’s function. Overloading with unnecessary supplements can deplete mitochondrial reserves and lead to dysfunction.
- Popular Supplement Pitfalls: Misusing common vitamins like D, C, and A can have serious consequences, from oxidative stress to kidney damage.
- A Personalized Approach to Wellness: Supplements aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Dr. Brook highlights the importance of tailoring supplementation to your body’s unique signals, rather than succumbing to marketing hype or anecdotal advice.
Memorable Moments:
- The Pacifier Analogy: Dr. Brook compares ineffective supplementation to giving a crying baby a pacifier—it may temporarily quiet symptoms but doesn’t address the root cause.
- The Domino Effect of Imbalance: She explains how excess iron can deplete zinc, which in turn affects copper levels, leading to a cascade of health issues.
- The Mitochondria Breakdown: A simple
